The rest of the show had the usual Madonna fixtures: sequins, fishnets and bondage-style outfits drawn from the 3,500 items of clothing reportedly whipped together by 36 designers specifically for the tour.

Forty thousand fans - many in pink cowboy hats and boas - were treated to a heavy metal "Borderline," while "La Isla Bonita" was backdrop for a flamenco routine.

The show, a mishmash of "gangsta pimp," Romanian folk, rave and dance - billed as an homage to Madonna's reinventions over the past three decades - arrives at Oakland's Oracle Arena on Nov. 1 and 2.
